Command Analysis

Anaheim Ducks

Current form
Anaheim did not have the most successful away series, although it started successfully. In the first match, the team faced Los Angeles and was one step away from winning in regular time, but missed an offensive goal just three minutes before the final whistle. It seemed that after this, the Ducks would not be able to recover, but it came to a shootout, where they still managed to snatch Victoria (2:1). Goalkeeper Dostal made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 44 out of 45 shots in three periods, as well as perfectly reflecting shots in a shootout. Few people could have expected that the Ducks would also consolidate this unexpected success in a duel with Boston. What is especially noteworthy is that the situation almost repeated itself, as the bears equalized in the last minutes, and the visitors pulled Victoria out of regular time (3:2).
Unfortunately, the team's success came to an end there. In the next away match, Anaheim met with Detroit and this time it turned out to be not so reliable in defense. He also couldn't handle a huge number of shots, which together led to an embarrassing defeat in overtime (4:5). As you can see, the team was almost able to compensate for the lack of defense due to a very effective offensive game. Many players distinguished themselves by effective actions, but this did not bring the desired result. Next, the club went to visit Buffalo, where it had a significant two-goal advantage before the start of the third period, but completely lost it in the final twenty minutes and was defeated in regular time (2:3). So far, the Ducks are still far from the playoff zone, but if they continue to consistently earn points, they may well compete for the eighth position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only McGinn, Zegras and Sushanek remain in the Anaheim infirmary. Gibson is also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim gets 8.15 minutes of penalty time per match

The Ducks spend the second twenty minutes very ineffectively and rarely differ in scoring goals.

Vancouver Canucks

Current form
Vancouver continues its away series, which did not start in the best way. In the first match, the team faced a very serious opponent in the person of Vegas and was able to play with him on opposite courses. However, the opponent was more lucky with the realization of dangerous moments, which allowed him to take the lead in the third period, and after that to consolidate his superiority. As a result, I had to suffer a defeat with a score of 1:3. Out of 34 throws, only one reached the target. It seemed that in the next match with Utah, they would also be able to play actively in attack, due to which the Canucks would have to regain the lost points, but this time the attacking line looked as modest as possible and in three periods made only 16 shots at the opponent's goal. And the ice masters took the lead just six minutes before the final whistle, which led to the second defeat in a row (1:2).
Tokket's wards were able to interrupt this series of unsuccessful performances on a visit to Los Angeles. Vancouver opened the scoring in the first period and had a two-goal advantage by the end of the second. But once again, the third period proved to be a failure. The Canucks allowed the Kings to even the score and move the game into overtime, where they eventually managed to snatch the mentally hardest victory (3:2). At the moment, the club is on the eighth line in the Western Conference table, thereby taking a place in the playoffs. However, his position is as precarious as possible, as his advantage over his closest competitor in Calgary is only one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Demko and Juulssen will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

1.55Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, the bookmakers single out Vancouver as the clear favorite, but we disagree with this a bit. Anaheim has been delighting fans with successful results lately, and it performs especially well at home, where it has not lost for four consecutive matches. But the Canucks are constantly having difficulties away, which leads to a loss of points. We believe that it is quite possible to take advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and place a bet in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our betting tip is that Anaheim will not lose in 1.80
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, we suggest not to expect a large number of abandoned goals. The Ducks are not particularly effective this season and often achieve success due to the efforts of the defensive line. So in this meeting, the Ducks will do their best to tie up Vancouver's offensive line and prevent it from showing itself.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 2.04
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Also, Vancouver has been confidently starting matches lately and practically does not allow its opponents to gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Betting Tip - Anaheim will not lose in the first period for 1.50
